announced. Students are to keep their assignment sheet current. On that
sheet, there is a column for grades; therefore, averages can be
calculated at any time during the quarter.
Assignments written in pencil can be redone in ink and turned in for
late credit the following day. This also applies for
assignments that are to be typed.
